FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for kids and are available in sizes ranging from younger sizes (e.g., 10 younger) up to UK size 2 older.
How should I clean the grey leather and textile parts?
For leather parts, use a damp cloth. For textile areas, spot clean gently with mild soap and water. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for everyday wear and light outdoor activity but should not be submerged in water.
Can these trainers be worn for sports like football or basketball?
These trainers are best suited for lifestyle and light sports activities. For high-impact sports like football or basketball, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
The product details state 'True to size - order your usual size'. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart if unsure.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 80% EVA for cushioning and 20% rubber for durability and traction.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction, especially the leather components. Hand-cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty lacing the shoes tightly
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones for better grip.
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
This is normal for new leather and textile shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your child's feet. Avoid excessive bending or creasing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. For very smooth surfaces, break-in time may be needed for optimal grip.
Discoloration on leather parts
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for children's footwear, following product instructions.
